Brave New Workshop Alumni Louie Anderson to Return to the ETC Theatre for Two Night Engagement

February 24, 2016

Minneapolis – The Brave New Workshop’s (BNW) Experimental Thinking Centre (ETC) Theatre is thrilled to announce the return of BNW alumni Louie Anderson for a two-night engagement on March 18 and 19.

Anderson, who has been selling out shows in his Vegas residency for years and fresh off his role as Zach Galifianakis’ mother in the new FX show “Baskets” will be bringing his timeless warmth and comedy stylings back to the place where his career began.

In addition to preferred seating for this show, Anderson is also offering VIP ticket holders an all access Q & A session after his stand up performance.

“We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Louie back – it’s been a true honor for us to watch his career unfold, and we couldn’t be more thrilled for his latest success in this groundbreaking role he has brought to life in ‘Baskets,’” says BNW President Earl Mollerud. “I can’t wait to see what Louie brings to our ETC Theatre this time around.”

This is Anderson’s second time appearing in the ETC Theatre since it’s move to this newer location at 824 Hennepin Avenue in 2009.
